IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE-FUNNEL ATTACHMENTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,'09l, dated February 1, 1876; application iiled December 29, 1875,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that a 1, HENRY VATTER, of Haverhill,of the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove Attachments and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a front elevation, Fig.2 a vertical. and longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section, of the educt-ion-pipe of a'stoveprovided with my invention. Fig.4 is a front elevation of the eduction-pipe without the eduction-slide and the'series of flanged adjustmentplates. I

The object of the said series of plates, and

the movable adjustment-slide provided with an opening or a short eduction-pipe, is to enable the latter to be set or arranged at a desirable altitude for it, or a pipe to lead from it, to

enter a hole in a chimney or front wall or plate of a fire-place.

The pipe A, open at bottom and closed 7 at top, is to fit upon the neck of the dissented, extend across the opening a, and at their ends are overlapped by the flanges b b. Fnrthermore,-not only the slide B, but each of the plates 0, is furnished at and along one or its lower edge with a flange, d, to project from it and to lap on the next contiguous plate, in

order to make therewith a close joint between the two, and maintain such,'ho-wever such plates may contract or expand under changes tended from it, as shown.

It will readily be seen how, by varying the positions of the plates, the altitude of the eduction-slide may be changed in the pipe A, to adapt it to come directly in front of an opening in a chimney or fire-place.

Were the plates without flanges, as described, it would be difficult, if not'impossible, to make close joints between them.

I claim- The combination of the flanged eductionslide B, and the series of flanged adjustmentplates 0 c, with the pipe A, provided with the opening a, and the flanges b -b thereto, all being arranged substantially as specified.
